Better parent supervision is the main way to combat these issues.
Companies should also either ban minors completely or allow parents to set up child accounts linked to their account with expansive parental controls that then can be migrated to full adult account once they reach legal age.
I don't think either will happen because there are so many stupid and lazy parents in America that don't care what their kids do as long as it's not bothering them
Agreed 100%. Enable parents, even not tech savvy parents, to parent. Ultimately, if the parent wants their kid to do whatever, they'll just create an adult account for their kid. Do we really want the government parenting our kids? Sure, it may be an improvement for some, but it's a slippery slope and could lead to a Brave New World.
Internet has replaced parenting. Kids are just another achievement after spouse and house and two cars.
